DESCRIPTION

Available either in through-hole or surface-mount

packages, the BTA/BTB12 and T12 triac series is

suitable for general purpose AC switching. They

can be used as an ON/OFF function in

applications such as static relays, heating

regulation, induction motor starting circuits... or for

phase control operation in light dimmers, motor

speed controllers,...

The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T12

series) are specially recommended for use on

inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation

performances. Logic level versions are designed

to interface directly with low power drivers such as

microcontrollers. By using an internal ceramic

pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab

(rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL

standards (File ref.: E81734)
